Minnesota Asked to Clarify School Improvement Plan

St. Paul Pioneer Press reporter Christopher Magan reports that, in mid-December, the U.S. Department of Education sent a letter to Minnesota Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius “asking state leaders to clarify several points of Minnesota’s new school accountability plan.” Minnesota was asked to clarify “how the state’s system of support for struggling schools decides if a school has improved enough to no longer need help and what happens to schools that do not show enough improvement,” and “how the state ensures students are not repeatedly taught by ineffective teachers.”
